| Preamble. |
WHEREAS doubts are entertained as to the construction
and operation
of the act to which this is a supplement, in relation to the
right of election therein directed to take the land at the valuation
of the commissioners, where, in their judgment, it will not admit
of division; therefore, |
If eldest male
not of age, eldest
female, if of age,
may elect, &c. |
2. BE IT ENACTED, by the General Assembly
of Maryland, That
in case the eldest male shall not be of age to make his election,
agreeable to the provisions of the said act, it shall and may be
lawful for the eldest female, if of age, to elect to take the land at
the valuation of the commissioners, notwithstanding the existence
of any male minor, any thing in the act to which this is a supplement
to the contrary notwithstanding. |
